I also would like to know what happened to Mike's site. I have found his
photographs/log an invaluable resource. A picture really is worth a thousand
words. Especially if you're not sure what the plans are saying. Anyone know
what happened? His site is surely missed.

John,
I just found the RV Hotline. Are you saying this is the last issue? It's
really to bad if it is because it has some great info and links:(
Also does anyone know what happened to Mike Howe's website?

Abby's edge trim is glued on after the headliner is finished. It goes
on over the cut edge of the headliner to give the edge a finished look.
You can see the edge trim around the top door edge in this picture:
http://img213.imageshack.us/my.php?image=headlinerab0.jpg
The covers between the left and right top door edges cover the door
hinges and are screwed on via nutplates which were installed with pop
rivets before the headliner was glued on. That way you don't have to
worry about working the headliner down into the pockets of the door
hinges, you can just X cut the fabric at the door hinge pockets and glue
down the edges.
I will try and post a picture tomorrow of Abby's edge trim around the
windows.

| Subject: | Re: QB Wing Inspection and Questions (fuel sender installation) |
Its not fun.
From my archives:
I built my own tanks but still had a lot of difficulty getting the
sender on one side to go thru its full range of motion without
hitting/binding on a stiffener at either the top or bottom. It only
happened on one side. I finally determined that the angle that the
sender unit was mounted to the attach plate was different that the other
unit. No amount of bending would help because anything that I did to
make it better on one end of the travel only made it worse on the other.
They are assembled using a single large rivet. And appparently the
quality control is weak. I was able to 'adjust' the angle with some
encouragement from the vise and a pair of channel locks, and the problem
disappeared as the 'swing plane' was now correct.

This is how I installed the fuel sender into my quickbuild wings
I bend the rod per the plans.
I attached safety wire to the rod
The safety wire was fished through the bottom drain opening (VA-112)
I connected a multimeter to the fuel sender and measured the resistance
through the range of the fuel sender using the safety wire to move the
float up and down.
I would shine a flash light through the finger strainer (VA-141) on the
inboard side of the wing and try to look through the drain opening with
the safety wire to see where the float was hitting.
Then remove the fuel sender, tweak / rebend the rod, re-install and
check the range of motion with the multimeter.
Do this over and over again until you get the full range from the float :-(
Real pain in the a$$.
In the end I got resistance reading
Right tank: empty 247 ohms, full 29 ohms
Left tank: empty 246 ohms, full 33 ohms.
There is a picture of the safety wire through the drain opening on my
website. Now I need to add the commentary to have it make sense. The
photo is here

Take the time and grind the dies. I carefully ground my set and have been able
to use them for the rest of the plane. This will not be the also set if die
and sets you will need to modify, the fuselage will have a number of riveting
and dimpling spots which require modified tools.

I am laying out my cam loc locations. Would someone tell me where the
upper and lower cowl meet at the fuselage?
At about 3 1/4" down from the intersection of the upper forward fuselage
and the lower fuselage side wall there are two rivets with 5/8" spacing
(in lieu of the 1" spacing for the rest of the rivets). I believe the
cowls meet between these two rivets.

| Subject: | Re: QB Wing Inspection and Questions |
There's some detailed writeups in the Matronics archives. Short version
is that entire assembly can be inserted thru the hole in which it is
mounted. There is some potential interference with some of the tank
stiffener J channels which can make it a time consuming process. I went
to the solution that involves turning the float 90deg into a vertical
orientation. You lose about some fraction of an inch in travel but the
adjustment becomes easy. You use a multimeter to check the travel.
It's impossible to fully describe or understand until you have it in
your hands.
I recommend removing the tanks from the wing for inspection. It can also
make the sender installation a bit easier but it's not required.

I think we have a winner. I just installed the pilot's side visor and
it seems to be just right. I will post pictures after we test it a
little more to see if there is any problem that I am not catching. I
hope to get with Rosen and send pictures to have them verify that they
are happy with it, then hopefully we will be able to make some
installation instructions and get the group buy together. As it is, I
can get the visor out of the way so it only obstructs a tiny bit of the
top of the windshield, and it can shield any part of the windshield or
side window.
Updates to come hopefully early next week.

Just as a point of reference, I offered the individual several hundred for the
N-Number and he wrote back no thanks. He was looking for the many many multiple
of of thousands. He indicated that he'd just sold another also for the many
multiples of thousands and it wasn't as desirable for the one I was after.
Oh well, I still like N475R.
Interestingly though, heard some good stories as I was looking around for reference
points. I heard many things about the N1KE - lifetime supply of shoes and
new paint in addition to the cash. There's also N1CE. Or the person named
Nigel with N16EL.

You do get what you pay for. Mike has a connection with the RV products
which is unmatched. No offense taken to the scores of other
independents trying to tackle this important aspect of safe flying.
I am off to the dinner too.

Yesterday I completed transition training with Mike S. and still am
reliving every takeoff, flight, and landing. I know this topic has been
bantered about lately but wanted to send a brief message tonite before I
get a more detailed one sent later with PICS of the airports we landed
at and the fun times we had all week. I can sum up the three days of
flying with Mike as follows:
Vans RV 10 kit and components $50,000
IO-540, seats. avionics, ETC. $75,000
Transition Training with Mike S. "PRICELESS"

| Subject: | Visit to the Factory |
I just returned from a visit to the factory. Got to see and ride in the factory
Ten along with seeing Van and Jerry's Rv10 parked outside. Took some pics.
Check out the TUFFS on his wing.
Scott Risan gave me a ride in the factory ten. Nice fella. Sweet airplane.
Piece of cake to fly (typical RV). Stalls very nice. I did a "balls to the wall"
speed run to see how fast it goes with 2 people and half tanks. !85kts at
3000ft verified by the GPS. Pretty cool. Pretty fast.
Scott gave me a tour of the factory. Busy place. Van was walking out to go
fly home when I cornered him and talked for about an half hour. I can tell you
this....Van has no plans for a 6 place RV10!
Check out his spartan interior.

Ray,
How much engine sag did you experience? After how many hours?

did for the Firewall Forward was to shim the two top engine mount bolts because
initially when I did the cowl, I allowed a little too much (5/16") for engine
sag. So I thought that after 245 hours on the plane the engine would have
sagged enough to just correct the rest of the spinner alignment by shimming the
top engine bolts where the engine mount meets the firewall. Two steel washers
measuring 1/8" thick on each side did the trick and the spinner matches the
top of the cowl perfectly now. Well with this done, I buttoned up the cowl and
went for a test flight. Everything was fine for engine run-up and off I went.
At 2000 AGL I leveled off and adjusted throttle and prop to 20 squared.
While screwing out the prop, at about 1" out it started to get a lot harder to
screw out. I kept going because it wasn't too bad yet, but then all of a sudden
the engine went from 2300 rpm to something like 10!
> 00 or so. I immediately started to screw the prop back in and headed back to
the airport.
> On my way back I had a few moments to think about this and figured it was the
prop linkage hitting the upper air dam. What had happened is the rod-end was
up inside the air dam when the prop is fully in, but once you screw it out about
1", it gets to the point where it was hitting the cutout in the air dam,
then as I kept screwing it out, it did nothing to the RPM until it finally popped
out on the underside of the air dam and this is when the RPM went from 2300
to something really low all at the same time. Once I was back on the ground,
I looked at the rod-end bearing at the governor and sure enough, it was hitting
the air dam. Since I shimmed the engine by 1/8", it not only dropped the
engine at the spinner, but it also moved the engine forward just enough so the
prop linkage was hitting the upper air dam. A stupid thing to overlook on my
part.
> Anyway, I thought I would share this with everyone so they check the clearance
of the prop linkage as it goes up through the air dam at there condition inspection.
This is important because as the engine sags in time, the clearance
you had at first flight may be different now and you may need to remove a little
more of the upper dam to have the proper clearance.

Just as a point of reference, I offered the individual several hundred
for the N-Number and he wrote back no thanks. He was looking for the
many many multiple of of thousands. He indicated that he'd just sold
another also for the many multiples of thousands and it wasn't as
desirable for the one I was after. Oh well, I still like N475R.
Interestingly though, heard some good stories as I was looking around
for reference points. I heard many things about the N1KE - lifetime
supply of shoes and new paint in addition to the cash. There's also
N1CE. Or the person named Nigel with N16EL.
Back to building.

Just back from Sun N Fun and saw an N number N600FY and he had tweaked the six
and the ohs to read GOOFY. The taxi way had a 3" rise from the dirt parking to
the asphalt taxiway. As he approached the taxiway he began his turn too early
and caught the right landing gear on the vertical rise spinning the plane
90 degrees to the right, parallel with the taxi way and his right wheel dropped
into the dirt. Instead of shutting down and let others help he added lots of
power and did a right 360 with the right brake locked, bouncing the plane about
and looking totally uncontrollable. Sometimes it all comes together.
